Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Covel, WV.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Covel provides medically managed detox services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery facility to handle their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
